Greeted
This is the correct answer to give the sentence a positive connotation
Answer:
greeted
Explanation:
"He accosted me with excessive warmth, for he had been drinking much. "
The negative connotation exists indeed because of the verb "to accost".
To accost means to "approach and address (someone) boldly or aggressively."
To greet, though, do not have this connotation since it means: "give a polite word or sign of welcome or recognition to (someone) on meeting."
Read this sentence from paragraph 3. But my brother was passionate, and had often beaten me, which I took extreamly amiss; and, thinking my apprenticeship very tedious, I was continually wishing for some opportunity of shortening it, which at length offered in a manner unexpected. How does the word "extreamly" (extremely) contribute to this passage?
The word extreamly used in this passage is an adjective describing the noun amiss. The word extreamly helps to give importante to the word amiss, to understand just how wrong being beaten made the character feel. The way the paragraph is written is very calm, but with the help of this adjectives we can understand that the character was not really relaxed, he was aggravated by the actions of their brother. It also helps explain the rest of the paragraph; since the narrator felt extremely hurt about being beaten, he wished for an opportunity to escape the situation.

i just need some advice i am writing a story on Halloween in my 10th grade English class
is it true that on Halloween the spirits of the dead can walk among us ???????
It's an unproven theory and it depends on if you believe in spirits or not. If so, then yes.. it is possible that spirits could walk upon us. Some people are able to "see" such spirits which is kind of freaky. Either way, it's just all biased on opinion.
On Halloween, it is a common belief and myth that the spirits of the dead can walk among us. However, this belief is not based on factual evidence.
Explanation:On Halloween, it is a common belief and myth that the spirits of the dead can walk among us. However, this belief is not based on factual evidence but rather on folklore and superstition. In reality, Halloween is a holiday celebrated as a time for costume parties, trick-or-treating, and other fun activities associated with the fall season and spooky themes. It is important to recognize the difference between folklore and actual scientific evidence when discussing such topics.
The following question refers to "The Cask of Amontillado."
It wasn’t until the tenth tier that Fortunato finally realized his fate, stating, "For the love of God, Montresor!"
True
False
It is true which is the first option provided, that Fortunato realized his fate during the tenth tier of masonry in "The Cask of Amontillado." He pleaded "For the love of God, Montresor!" at that point.
The statement that it wasn’t until the tenth tier that Fortunato finally realized his fate, stating, "For the love of God, Montresor!" is true. In Edgar Allan Poe’s "The Cask of Amontillado," Fortunato's realization occurs while Montresor finishes building the tenth tier of the wall. This is evident from the text, "I had completed the eighth, the ninth, and the tenth tier...there remained but a single stone to be fitted and plastered in." It is at this moment that Fortunato pleads, "For the love of God, Montresor!"Which technology will help the business meet its goals?

How does paragraph 7 explain the idea that studying music can help develop the brain?
----Playing a musical instrument engages muscular movement, requires coordination, and employs various senses. This intricate process of making music creates motion and emotional response. According to one scientist’s studies, intense musical training increases not only the volume of the brain, but also improves the connections between the hemispheres of the brain.
It highlights how the number and the complexity of the tasks that one must master to play an instrument spurs brain growth.
It identifies the parts of the brain that are affected by studying music.
It offers quotes from a leading scientific study.
It describes a program that uses music to help people with brain injuries or brain diseases such as Alzheimer's.
Option 1 “It highlights how the number and the complexity of the tasks that one must master to play an instrument spurs brain growth.” is the statement that best explains the idea that studying music can help develop the brain. In this paragraph, the focus is on how performing several tasks at the same time when playing an instrument help you develop certain skills such as coordination, muscular movement and senses awareness. By developing several skills both parts of the brain, right and left, are being exercised.
Option 2 is not correct as it does not identify which part of the brain is affected. Instead, it makes emphasis on how both parts are interconnected when studying music.
Option 3 is incorrect since the paragraph mentions a scientific source to back up the main idea, so it is mentioned as an example.
Option 4 is also incorrect as no direct relation is made in the paragraph between the effects of studying music and health improvement.

Select all that apply. A participle may be used as a(n): linking verb object of a preposition predicate nominative appositive adjective complement subject indirect object
Participles can be classified in past and present; for example:
With regular verbs such as help:
Present Participle: Helping
Past Participle: Helped
With irregular verbs such as bring:
Present participle: Bringing
Past participle: Brought
Then, option 5 (Adjective complement) is not correct because participles can be used as adjectives for example in this sentence:
The walking men
But the function of the participle walking would be pre-modifier of the noun men, not adjective complement.
The correct options are object of a preposition (2), subject (6) and indirect object (7) and the participles in these cases are used as noun. Whenever a present participle is functioning as a noun, it is called gerund. For example:
Marcus decided to shut up instead of criticizing his friend. (Object of a preposition)
Running exhausts John (Subject)

Is the second energy level of the oxygen atom full? Explain
Final answer:
No, the second energy level of the oxygen atom is not full; it has six electrons but can hold eight. Oxygen's electron configuration is 1s²2s²2p⁴, and it would need two more electrons for the second energy level to be full, which can happen in an oxygen ion (O²⁻).
Explanation:
The second energy level of the oxygen atom is not full. The electron configuration of oxygen is 1s²2s²2p⁴. For the second energy level to be filled, it would require eight electrons, as the second energy level consists of one s orbital and three p orbitals, which can hold a total of eight electrons (2 in s and 6 in p). Oxygen normally has six electrons in its outer (second) energy level (2s²2p⁴), which is two electrons short of being full. However, in the case of an oxygen ion (O²⁻), the second energy level can become full when two extra electrons are gained, matching the electron configuration of the noble gas neon (1s²2s²2p⁶).
Which euphemism has been used to refer to the condition when a soldier experiences severe anxiety triggered by combat?
The euphemism 'shell shock' was used during World War I to describe what is known today as Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), a severe anxiety condition caused by combat experience.
Explanation:The euphemism 'shell shock' has historically been used to refer to the condition where a soldier experiences severe anxiety triggered by combat. During World War I, shell shock was a new term applied to soldiers displaying symptoms from mild tremors to severe psychological distress, such as flashbacks or mutism, due to exposure to the horrifying conditions at the front. With time and with more understanding of the psychological impacts of war, the terminology shifted to 'battle fatigue' and eventually to what is known today as Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). PTSD encompasses a wide range of symptoms including severe anxiety, flashbacks, and difficulty adjusting to civilian life after experiencing traumatic events during military service.
who would be considered a furtive individual :
a. international spy
b. produce manager
c. mother-to-be
A: International spy
I'd say the answer is A. International Spy.
The definition of the word "furtive" is, "characterized by, acting with, or suggesting stealth or a desire to avoid discovery; surreptitious".
I don't quite think that a produce manager needs to be stealthy or desire to avoid discovery, nor a mother-to-be. But if you are an international spy, you wouldn't quite want to get spotted/caught.
In "Zlateh the Goat," how do Aaron's mother and sisters feel about Zlateh? A. They consider Zlateh to be the most important member of their family. B. They love Zlateh and are sad that Reuven decides to sell her. C. They do not care about the goat the way Aaron does. D. They think that Zlateh has grown too old to be useful to them.
The aswer is option B: They love Zlateh and are sad that Reuven decides to sell her.
In the short story "Zlateh the Goat," by Isaac Bashevis Singer, Aaron's mother and sisters oppose to Reuven's decision to sell Zlateh and cry with sadness when he decides to send Aaeron into town with her.
Answer:
B. They love Zlateh and are sad that Reuven decides to sell her.
Explanation:
The short story "Zlateh the Goat" tells the story of a Jewish family who will need to sell the Zlateh goat to have enough money to make it possible to celebrate Hanukkah. The family has a strong affection for the goat, they treat it as a member of the family and are extremely sad when they decide to sell it to a butcher.
In summary, we can say that Aaron's mother and sisters are very sad when Reuven decides to sell Zlateh.

Which quotation most clearly reveals the locations of both the object and the narrator? ". . . Although my French windows face towards Ottershaw and the blind was up . . . I saw nothing of it." ". . . For I loved in those days to look up at the night sky . . ." "Yet this strangest of all things that ever came to earth from outer space must have fallen while I was sitting there . . ."
The correct answer is "... Although my French windows face towards Ottershaw and the blind was up... I saw nothing of it."
The quotation clearly states that both the object (Ottershaw) and the narrator are in opposite sides of a window, which lies between them.
The other options cannot be correct since:
In the second quotation, the object is the night sky, and its location can be considered to be up. However, the location from which the narrator observes the object is unclear.
In the third quotation, the identity of the object itself is unclear, defining it as this strangest of all things. Nevertheless, its location is set as the earth, and outer space as the place of provinence. The narrator states its location to be "there", which creates an ambiguity issue - not specifying the location to be the earth or outer space.
The quotation indicating the narrator's study facing Ottershaw and the falling celestial object provides the clearest detail of both the narrator and object's locations.
The quotation that most clearly reveals the locations of both the object and the narrator is: "I was at home at that hour and writing in my study; and although my French windows face towards Ottershaw and the blind was up (for I loved in those days to look up at the night sky), I saw nothing of it. Yet this strangest of all things that ever came to earth from outer space must have fallen while I was sitting there, visible to me had I only looked up as it passed."
This excerpt provides specific details: the narrator was in their study with the French windows facing towards Ottershaw, indicating the narrator's location, and references to an object from outer space that would have been visible, pinpointing the object's trajectory as it fell to earth.
